Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 4688. Sachse, A. P. Feb. 24. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Valves controlled from a distance.-For operating gas valves for lighting and extinguishing gas burners by pneumatic means two pistons c, i arranged within separate cylindrical bores b, h, and with communicating passages h, o are used. In operation, by suction through the pipe f, the piston is moved to uncover the port d to the burner, and at the same time the piston i is temporarily lifted so that gas can pass through the passage o and pipe l to the ignition pellet n, whereby the gas issuing from the burner is ignited. The piston i soon falls and the pellet n is extinguished. By an increase of pressure in the pipe f, the piston c is forced back and the gas supply to the burner is closed. The arrangement is also applicable to inverted burners.

Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 11,515. Helsingborgs Kopparverks Aktiebolag. May 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Chlorinating, chloridizing, &c.-In a process for the chloridizing-roasting of ores, the heat required for sustaining the process after it has been initiated is supplied by heating the air necessary for the chloridizing-process by means of a separate heating-apparatus, and then introducing it to the material to be roasted, the said material being stirred by mechanical means. The whole or a part of the air required for the process may be first preheated by being brought into contact with roasted ore, and then heated by the separate heating-apparatus before it is introduced into the chlorinating-furnace or zone of the furnace where the chlorinating takes place. The heating of the air may be effected by combustion gases which are not allowed to mix with the air, the said combustion gases being afterwards used for preheating the ore or mixture of ore and chloride to be roasted. Specification 23,108/09 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Percussion Apparatus.

IPC: B25D11/10
Filed: 1912-09-28
Granted: 1913-09-29
Abstract: 22,132. Fitz, J. Sept. 28. Percussive hand tools. -In a percussive tool in which a spring - controlled percussion bolt is lifted by a cam-plate which may then spring forward so as not to impede the blow, the cam-plate is driven by means of a projection or recess on the driving- shaft engaging a recess or projection in the cam - plate, the recess being wider than the projection to allow free rotation of the camplate within limits. The projection may consist of a key. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a motor 4 drives a shaft 7 which has a projection 11 engaging a recess in the hub of the cam 8; this cam engages a roller 9 in the percussion bolt 1 to raise this against a spring 10. The recess being wider than the projection, the cam then springs forward while the spring 10 forces the bolt 1 downwards. The bolt is guided by a roller 15 on the shaft 7, and a spring 17 tends to raise the tool 16. A ring 19 and spring 18 absorb shock during idle running. In a modification, Fig. 5, the cam 25 is rigidly keyed to a shaft 24 which has a stop 26, adapted to be engaged by a stop 27 on the driving-shaft 22, the stops being so arranged that the cam may spring forward while the bolt 28 descends. The bolt is formed as a closed piston which fits, and is guided by, the casing 31. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the spring 18, which absorbs the shocks during idle running, may be adjusted, so as to vary the strength of the blow, by adjusting the threaded bushing 36 on the casing 37, a pawl 38 then fixing the bushing 36. The Provisional Specification states also that to avoid shocks, a movable projection on the driving-shaft, under the action of a spring, may be provided to engage the cam; such a projection may be arranged on a ring loose on the driving-shaft and connected by the spring to a collar thereon. Further, the highest point of the cam may be without pitch, and a multiple-stage cam may be provided to obtain a variable stroke, such cam being movable laterally by means of a lever.
